3rd Party Material test Report (optional option)

X-medics wire products may be tested by an independent ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to confirm that the tantalum material satisfies the requirements of ASTM F560 / ISO 13782 and is suitable for processing into medical device components. If specified, a copy of the independent certificate is provided with all shipments from X-medics. The laboratory analyses the chemical and mechanical characteristics of the wire and compare them again the ISO/ASTM tantalum grade standards.
